3 Vastu Tips for Choosing the Right Colours for Your Home

When it comes to creating a peaceful and positive living space, Vastu Shastra – the ancient Indian science of architecture – offers helpful guidance. One of the simplest ways to bring harmony into your home is by choosing the right colours based on the direction your house faces. Ashutosh Clairvoyant, an astrologer, numerologist, and healer, shares how different colours can influence the energy of your home.

Colours Based On Home Direction

According to Ashutosh, the direction your house faces plays a big role in selecting the right colours.

“For north-facing homes, light blue, green, or off-white are ideal,” he explains. “These colours attract money, bring calmness, and help reduce stress. They’re also good for career growth.”

If your home faces east, the direction of the rising sun, go for white, cream, or light blue. “These colours bring energy, good health, and help keep the family united,” says Ashutosh.

For south-facing homes, strong shades like red, orange, or brown can be used but in moderation. “South is linked to fire energy, so avoid overdoing dark colours. Balance them with lighter shades like beige or cream,” he advises.

When it comes to west-facing homes, light grey, white, or soft yellow work best. “These shades bring stability, peace of mind, and improve family relationships,” he adds.

If You Can’t Paint The Whole House

Many people live in rented apartments or buildings with limited options for painting. But even small changes can help.

“Just painting the main outer wall or the entrance in the right colour can make a big difference,” says Ashutosh. If painting isn’t possible, using elements like rugs, curtains, or even door mats in the right colours can help align your home with positive energy.

He also recommends safe colours like cream, beige, and light peach. “These work for any direction. They don’t clash with energies and make the house feel bright and peaceful.”

Things To Avoid In Exterior Décor

There are also some things to avoid when decorating your home exterior. Ashutosh warns, “Never use full dark shades like black or deep red for exteriors. And don’t mix too many colours on one side of the house.”

Also, make sure your paint isn’t cracked or peeling. “Faded or damaged paint can disturb the energy flow,” he explains.

Lastly, focus on the main door. “It’s the most important energy point in any flat. Use the right colours or add spiritual symbols like Om, Swastik, or Ganesha near the door for a positive effect,” says Ashutosh.
